Well I am down in Bolivia now. Biked 11000 ft down yesterday on The
Worlds Most Dangerous Road. And of all the roads Ive ever seen, this is
certainly the most dangeous. On a bike not so much, but in a car, phew,
one lane, traffic both ways, and a 1000ft drop off on the side. Yikes!
Pretty fun time riding mountain bikes downhill for 5 hours! Crazy even!
The biking is pretty safe, but I sure didnt like the drive back up.
But going up is safer than doing down since you are on the moutain side,
not the cliff side. Ah well, survived that one.

What else is up? Lesse, we did the big trek and then left for Lake
Titicaca which was rainy and cold and a really nice place but I didnt
get to hike the Isla del Sol like I wanted becauce the weather was so
bad. Finally the last day we took a boat over, but the weather was bad
so it went slow, we had an hour to hike up to the top in the rain, and
then back to the city of Copacabana where we stayed. Got off the boat
and there was snow on the dock! BRRRrrrr! Coooold

Got to La PAz and did some amazing hiking in the mountains around here,
wen tto this place called the Vally of the Moon and it was like being in
a cave with all the stalagmites and tites except they chopped off the
roof of the cave. Wild. Then hit the zoo which was pretty amazing -
very active animals.

Anyway, the cold front seems to have passed over and the weather here in
La PAz (and likely in Copacabana too) has warmed up. Great weather for
the bike yesterday. Tomorrow we head out to Lake Suliya or
something...this dried up lake that is the largest salt bed in the
world. Otherworldly it looks like. And coooooold. Got a great package
deal on the Lake trip and the bike trip. Then we probably head up to
the jungle for some jungle trekking. Then back to peru for Machu Pichu.
We wanted to do it earlier but they put up all these new restrictions
on trekking the Inca Trail and now there is a one month waiting list!
So we have our trek on the 28th of July.

Hit some museums today and will probably wander the markets here in La
Paz today. Pretty chill place for being a big Latin American city. I
think the food in Peru was a little better, but the beer here is just
awful. Stocco has taken to buying Two Buck Chuck, basically whatever $2
wine he can find....preferably Chilean if we can find it. Works for me.

Thats about it! Keep me posted on the vida americana!
